wozza Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Well my car has been parked next where its been for the last few months only to go down today to see my nice VTS spoiler poiting upwards and all cracked and smashed. bastards have obviously come out of the pub and just had a go at it and tried ripping it off. So thankful it didnt smash the glass but im just gonna leave the old one on for now until i move back home again and then i will get a new one not putting another one on it when its likely to happen again. Rather upset currently though. And not sure how much a new one is likely to cost since the only one on ebay is unpainted and in greece. Yet still over £100. Gonna see if i can come up with a way of keeping it though as the bottom half of the VTS spoiler is basically just the original lip spoiler and the top part of my spoiler is unaffected i might be able to fix something up somehow i have no idea if its doable though.

lab44 Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry to hear about that mate. I'd keep the old spoiler personally and use it to wack the bastards over the head when you find them :) Shame you cant have anything nice nowadays without some pikey attacking it. Quote
Welshguy Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry to hear that m8. My brother suffered this once too - the bastards used a piece of wood or something like that to act as a lever to rip the spoiler off his clio while he stayed at his girlfriend's overnight. Personally its not the damage that I'd be most upset over - it would be that some chav that got something for free. :) Quote
Fizzo17 Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry to hear about your car. I had mine keyed today on a supermarket carpark in broard daylight! B**T***S!!!!! Quote
lee_marshuk Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry to hear that mate....know how you feel, in the 9 months I've had the car, I've had 3 different b*stards run into the back of it at lights not paying attention to the road!!! Quote
wozza Posted May 22, 2006 Author Posted May 22, 2006 Looks like they had just yanked at it on 1 side. The upper part of it is fine just the lower lip section is completely shattered. Not sure if its repairable. Body shop my mums car went to did a great job on her badly damaged bumper and it wasnt a lot of money so will take it into them to have a look. Just been and asked the bouncers at the pub and club there and they didnt see anything. And normally there pretty good if anyone tries damaging anything outside they will usually chase them down etc and the pub there with CCTV its pointed the other way :) Just annoyed me big time this morning fitted the lip spoiler back on for now though until i can get a new one or get this on repaired. Although if i can get it repaired which i think could be do able i might just get it all smoothed into 1 piece might stand up to a bit more abuse then in future and get it properly bonded to the window rather than just using those sticky pads on the spoiler.

wozza Posted May 23, 2006 Author Posted May 23, 2006 Well spoiler has been dropped off in a local bodyshop a mate recommended. £60 its costing for it to be reapired and repsrayed. Which isnt too bad still cheaper than claiming off insurance or buying another one so quite happy. Even happier when he said he can have it done for friday so i will be sticking it back on once i have polished it up and given it a few coats of wax etc. And it'll be on for FCS again :D Quote
